Although when thinking about iconic cars from 1957, your mind might
gravitate toward something involving a Bel Air or T-Bird nickname,
one look at this incredible 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk Restomod,
and all of those other cars seem to disappear in the rearview
mirror. With just 503 miles since it was built, this low-slung
superstar car comes with new fenders, plenty of custom fabrication,
along with its custom Root Beer paint with tan-accented fins and
wheels to complement its chrome bumpers and aggressively cool
lowered stance.
Inside, we find an amazing full custom interior. A custom center
console featuring a Lokar shifter separates a pair of custom plush
leather bucket seats. A custom three-spoke power-assisted wheel is
mounted on a tilt column, sitting ahead of a factory dashboard
outfitted with Dakota Digital gauges set against a silver machined
bezel. Power windows, air conditioning, and cruise control offer
modern amenities, while the Bluetooth-enabled JVC AM/FM/CD/AUX
handles soundtrack duties. Even the door panels are custom-made to
match the seats, as is the headliner, to incorporate a custom dome
light.
Under the hood, we find a 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated V-8 engine.
Topped with custom Studebaker valve covers, this potent small block
expels spent gases through Hooker exhaust manifolds and dual
exhaust capped off with Borla mufflers. Power is routed through a
stout 8L90E eight-speed automatic transmission before being sent
out to the Currie 9-inch rear end that transfers those ponies to
the pavement via big 20-inch Schott wheels wrapped in Z-rated
rubber.
